Family History Beginners Board / general question
« on: Wednesday 06 July 11 07:24 BST (UK)  »
i havent done family history type stuff for some time and have a couple of quesions.
 
i have been looking at National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations),1861-1941.... and found an entry of interest to me ...my relative died in 1935 and probate went to as far as in know an unrelated male who is described as 'a police inspector'.. effects of £116

my first question is ... do you think that his death is connected to a criminal matter or not
2nd question is .... can i get the death cert for a death in 1935 or is this too recent ?

Thanks
Iain

World War One / Frederick Smith
« on: Monday 26 July 10 18:31 BST (UK)  »
i visited a relative yesterday who had lots of interesting letters about a relative who died in the 1st world war... it was a photo of a gravestone, and various documents relating to his death including letters of condolence from the chaplain and his 2nd lieutenant.

the grave said Sgt Frederick Smith ; Royal Garrison Artillery: killed in action 3rd November 1917 aged 32: 79th seige battery RGA ; 30106 Sgt F Smith...

Can anyone with the appropriate knowledge tell me what his unit were up to and where they were that day...

 i would be grateful
many thanks iain

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Surname 'HOMBURG'
« on: Saturday 17 April 10 16:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi
i was doing some research for my Uncle Peter Beverley, George David HOMBURG and Harriett are also his GG Grandparents as well. He is descended from their daughter Harriett Elizabeth HOMBURG who married his grandfather Howard Beverley. i have seen the reference in the National Archives for George HOMBURG'S naturalisation but have not followed it up.. Do you think the name is JEWISH ??
 I would be grateful if you could let me know the info from the marriage certificate that you mention.

Regards
Iain Rose

Census and Resource Discussion / 1841 - Census
« on: Sunday 07 March 10 17:05 GMT (UK)  »
I have fallen on hard times and cannot afford my Ancestry Subscription anymore.. can someone look something up for me....
On a birth certificate Sarah Maria WALKER was born 21/12/1840. Address living at given as
23, Johns Place, Stepney, Middlesex.... i have had trouble finding this address before. I know the family were not living there at the time as all her brothers and sisters were born in Chelmsford/ Great Burstead area and they are on the 1841 census in Great Burstead. I am interested in the family names of the people living at the above address in 1841 incase they were visiting family at the time...

any help appreciated
